Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Xuul, who was observing the Holy Spear in the sky, did not care about the status of the people around him, but he was always monitoring their movements.

That is why, when Tristan made his decision, Shuul also discovered his actions at the same time.

This magical reaction, should I sacrifice my life to release my Noble Phantasm...

As the person who beat Tristan to his current state, Xuel knew his physical condition better than anyone else, but he was not surprised by it.

At this moment, the height of the Holy Spear reached within 500 meters above the sky.

The incomparable pressure quickly filled the area below, and the surrounding space was further shattered, and the countless ruins of buildings that had been restored were also displayed in reality.

Bang-dang——!

Lancelot's body was exhausted. When the pressure came upon him, he could not keep his balance and fell to the ground. The sword lost its support and quickly fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

Xuul didn't care about a lake knight who fell behind him.

At this moment, half of his attention was on the Holy Spear in the sky, and the other half was on Tristan, who for some reason had already planned to do so but was still not showing up.

However, the Holy Lance was already within reach, and Shul had completed most of his observations and data collection, so he could no longer allow it to continue descending.

Thinking of this, Xuer quickly raised his hand, ready to launch "defense".

—【Opening】—

However, at the same time, as if he had found the right time for Shul to act, Tristan, who had been planning for a long time, suddenly took action.

It's now!

The rosy knight quickly raised his hand and swept it across the strings.

A burst of music that was similar to but completely different from the previous one suddenly rang out.

Bang Bang Bang!

Several "rays" of light came to Xuer's side in an instant at a speed almost like teleportation, making a series of knocking sounds on his armor.

But this time was different from the previous attacks. When these rays of light passed through the enemy's body, they did not disappear. Instead, they were like taut long lines, stuck on the enemy's body.

Densely packed and repetitive, in an instant, the enemy was trapped in a huge "grid" composed of light.

Xuer looked indifferently at the light that handcuffed him, tried to move his body, and then found that simple pulling could not break free from the restraints.

Although no damage was caused, the purpose of restricting actions was achieved. Now he thought he understood why Tristan waited until now to launch the attack.

However, this "cage" is only the beginning of the attack; the real highlight is the bowstring that is being pulled tight with all its strength at this moment.

Compared to his previous performance, this time, the knight finally used the weapon in his hand to make a true "bow" attack.

An arrow of light containing a high concentration of magical reaction appeared on the knight's bowstring.

"【Failnaught】!!!"

The dazzling light burst out from the string, and the blow filled with Tristan's full strength flew straight towards Xuel.

boom--! ! !

The knight no longer cared about how much damage his attack had caused. He just let out a breath, as if he was deflated, and slowly knelt on the ground.

Bang-dang——!

"call……"

He did not think that his attack could cause much damage to the enemy. Everything he did at this moment was for the King's Holy Spear to fix the target.

After launching that full-strength attack, he was finally unable to support his body anymore as all his strength was gone. Like Lancelot, he fell heavily to the ground.

There was little magic power left in his body, but due to the previous battle, after releasing his Noble Phantasm, he no longer had enough magic power to maintain his existence.

"It's so... sad..."

As his body was about to collapse, the rosy knight, at the end of his life, recalled something and finally spoke slowly and weakly.

His voice quickly faded away, and his body quickly dissipated into tiny bits of magical quantum energy in the next second.

But there was one thing Tristan had misunderstood.

That is the enemy's armed launch, which is actually not disturbed by the restraint of the body.

Xuul stood there unharmed, looking calmly at the place where the knight had just disappeared.

He was analyzing the attack he had just endured.

Witnessing his companions' desperate fight and even death, Lancelot was heartbroken, but the scene he saw at this moment immediately dispelled all the sadness in his heart, leaving only horror at the scene before him.

At this time, the sky above the holy city had already been covered by a huge golden semicircle.

And the holy spear that was about to destroy the holy city actually stopped steadily outside the semicircle at this moment.

……

Chapter 32: Lungominiad

"Analysis complete."

Tristan's Noble Phantasm data was not complicated. In just a few breaths, Shul completely analyzed the Noble Phantasm.

Only then did he turn around and look at a Knight of the Round Table who was lying on the ground, barely breathing.

At this moment, the holy spear had silently descended upon the barrier covering the holy city and rested steadily on it.

At this point, in Lancelot's eyes, everything seemed like a dream from which he could not wake up.

The king's punishment had arrived, but the holy spear was actually stopped firmly outside by the transparent barrier that seemed to be easily broken.

"Gulu..."

Seeing this unbelievable scene, the knight couldn't help but swallow.

But the dry and sore throat kept reminding him that this picture was not an illusion.

The enemy blocked the King's Holy Spear! !?

You have to know that this was the king's most successful attack since he founded the holy city. Countless enemies were reduced to ashes under the king's holy spear.

To this day, only the Sun King in the desert can compete with him.

But that was only possible because of the temple.

And what does the enemy in front of us rely on?

Deployed a protective shield by one's own strength?

How can this be! ?

It was not until now that Lancelot finally had a certain degree of understanding of the enemy's strength.

Precisely because he knew how terrifyingly powerful the Lion King's Holy Spear was, he was particularly terrified when he saw the enemy taking the Holy Spear.

Facing this stranger who could cause the collapse of the "Tower", the king could not hold back. In other words, the enemy had to rely entirely on his own strength to withstand this devastating blow!

In fact, the enemy hasn't shown any sign of difficulty yet.

Cold sweat instantly wet Lancelot's back.

The pain in his body could no longer compete with the surprise he was experiencing at the moment.

Unfortunately, Tristan left the scene early and was unable to witness this horrifying scene. If the other party was still alive, he would definitely have behaved more violently than the former.

But he is not Xuul after all, and he has no idea what kind of heart is hidden under Xuul's normal appearance.

When the Holy Lance came into contact with the barrier, Xuer clearly felt that the energy he consumed in "defense" was being consumed rapidly in an instant.

If his energy supply rate was not strong enough, the barrier would probably collapse on its own within five seconds after coming into contact with the holy spear.

"Analyzing..."

The power of the Holy Lance cannot be underestimated, and Xuer did not underestimate this attack.

When launching his defense, he activated full power just to be on the safe side.

The Holy Lance and the "Shield" were in a stalemate, and Shuul took the opportunity to collect data on the attack. While doing this, he also devoted his energy to observing Lancelot's condition.

After all, the fact that the other party has been lingering on until now and has not "fallen down" is enough for him to have a certain understanding of the strength of his physique.

As expected of the strongest knight of the Round Table, he was still able to maintain consciousness in this situation.

The light of the holy spear suddenly appeared above his head, illuminating Xuer's head. The dazzling golden light immediately spread everywhere, lighting up everything around him.

To be honest, it was a bit dazzling to the human eye, but fortunately the two people present were not ordinary people.

Xiuer raised his hand and held the sword high.

A flash of golden light suddenly spread down from the top of the sword, completely covering the entire sword and even Xuul.

The next moment, a bright but not dazzling light flashed by.

When Lancelot opened his eyes again after closing them unconsciously, the tall, mighty and strong figure had disappeared, replaced by a purple-haired "girl" who was particularly petite compared to "Gawain".

"?!"

Lancelot's eyes suddenly widened.

Unlike Gawain, when Lancelot and Tristan saw their enemy, the enemy was already wearing the appearance of "Gawain", and they did not know the enemy's true appearance.

At this moment, it was beyond his expectation that the enemy chose to reveal his true appearance, and what surprised him even more was the enemy's appearance.

A waterfall of soft blue-purple hair drooped down and fluttered behind Shul. Since there was no need for "disguise" in Chaldea, Shul simply put on a standard white outfit of Chaldea as his attire.

However, due to the mechanical equipment in the body, some of the clothes on the body still left gaps for it.

A pair of slender "tails" extended from the gap in his back clothes and landed on the ground behind him.

"..."

Xuul didn't pay attention to the surprised knight beside him. He chose to remove the "disguise" at this moment simply to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

Facing the holy spear above his head, he became serious for once.

He casually threw the holy sword in his hand to the side. The silver sword quickly disintegrated into silent energy quanta before touching the ground and flew back to its owner's chest.

Xiu immediately raised his right hand and held it above his head.

The barrier that was originally hanging 50 meters above the holy city began to move slowly to a higher place as Xuer moved.

And the holy spear that was firmly pressed against the barrier suddenly burst into a brighter light due to this change.

Obviously, the lion king noticed that something was wrong and increased the power of the attack.

With a "gun" and a "shield", the "wrestling" began.

The energy in the body is rapidly decreasing, but Xuul's unique energy supply mechanism allows him to instantly fill the gap as the energy is decreasing.

It can be said that as long as the opponent fails to break through his shield at the beginning of the collision, he will be doomed to lose in this energy competition, unless the enemy has the same "infinite energy" as him.

The gun and shield collided, seemingly at a stalemate.

But in reality, the barrier below had silently begun to push back the powerful holy spear.

"Analyzing... 46%."

The light of the Holy Lance shone brighter, while the barrier beneath it remained as smooth as before.

“…64%.”

Xiuer's feet gradually hung in the air and his body was slowly floating up.

“…78%.”

Lancelot looked in astonishment at the blue-purple figure that was already floating three meters above the ground. The barrier above his head that blocked the holy spear had not shown even a single crack until now.

“…89%.”

Under the illumination of the holy spear, Xuul, who had floated ten meters above the ground, was covered in the dazzling golden light.

“…97%.”

The originally stalemate situation suddenly tilted, and the barrier covering the holy city began to move upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Holy Lance burst out with even more intense light once again, but it still failed to stop the barrier from rising.

until……

“…100%.”
